@MLB:

"We mourn the passing of Hall of Famer and @Padres icon Tony Gwynn, who died today at the age of 54."

Thanks for posting Skip. We lost one of the greatest hitters in the modern game.

@Joelsherman1:

"Gwynn’s career coincided with prime of #Braves big 3 and he hit .381 (101-265) v. Maddux/Smoltz/Glavine with 19 BBs, 3 Ks #Padres #amazing "

@MLBONFOX:

"Tony Gwynn faced soon-to-be Hall of Famer Greg Maddux 107 times. He hit .415 & didn't strike out. Not once"

Way too young.

Way too young.

Truly. :(

Saw this bit of sad irony today

From the Bill Chuck files — “Tony Gwynn had one three-strikeout game in his 2,440-game career. Gwynn, who died June 16, struck out three times on April 14, 1986, against Bob Welch of the Dodgers, who died June 9 . . . "
